Most cultures have a festival of light．Each culture celebrates this festival in a different way．There is one thing that is the same，however，and this is the wish for peace and happiness in the world．
    The Jewish Festival of Light is called Hanukkah．Hanukkah usually takes place in December．The story of why Hanukkah is celebrated is very old．It is told that a very long time ago，Jewish people called the Macabees were at war with a country called Syria．On the day that the Macabees won the war，they cleaned up their holy place，which is called a temple，because the Syrian people had been living there．They wanted to light their holy lamps to say thank you for the end of the war，but found only a very small amount of oil left over to do that．The Macabees lit the lamps anyway，thinking that they would soon go out．The lamps kept burning for eight days!The Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah every year by lighting a candlestick that has eight candleholders．Every night a new candle is lit so that on the eighth night，all eight candles stand together．Presents are given at this time and money is given to the poor．
    Lanterns are another form of light．In China，lanterns are famous works of art．The Lantern Festival goes back more than 2，000 years to the Qin Dynasty．It takes place on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year，bringing the New Year season to a close．During the festival，parks become a sea of lanterns．Sometimes streets are blocked off and lanterns are put down on each side to make a hallway of lanterns．People also hang lanterns in their gardens，outside their houses or on boats．The lanterns are made in many shapes，sizes and colours．They are usually made from silk，paper and plastic．Some are even made from ice．It is believed that these lanterns will guide visitors and the spirits of ancestors to the celebrations．The Lantern Festival is a time for families，young and old to spend together．Every New Year the wish is the same -peace and happiness to all．
